"The passionate fans of Phillies baseball and dance music will unite for a fun, energetic and special night at Citizens Bank Park."

"I'm a huge baseball fan, so to team up with the Phillies for such an amazing event is something I'm really looking forward to. I've played in night clubs and at some of the biggest festivals around the world, but can't imagine what it will be like to DJ in one of baseball's finest cathedrals," Markus Schulz said.
